The Executive Council of the Cell Stress Society International has established The Alfred Tissières Young Investigator Award. The award is named in honor and remembrance of Professor Alfred Tissières, a pioneering investigator in the heat shock and cellular stress response field. Alfred Tissières was known broadly for his support and encouragement of young scientists. Thus it is fitting that this award is for a post-doctoral fellow or assistant professor less than 10 years beyond the attainment of his or her doctoral degree.

Please contact us for information about submitting an award nomination.


 

Vintage edition of Road to Rakaposhi

George Band

Alfred’s Rakaposhi climb may symbolize Alfred leading us into heat shock protein research. A Latin phrase serves both:

       Ad astra per aspera
(To the stars through struggle)

The award includes a travel/zoom award and a vintage edition of George Band’s book about the climb containing a front plate recognizing the awardee.
